there is definitely a difference in a stare of respect vs. stare of pigness....lol
The only attention I want in the gym is exactly what I get....respect!
Some of it has to do with the way you are dressed and the exercise you are doing. Squats and abductor/adductor machines ( I call these good girl/bad girls) always draw male attention when women do them.
For some women they come dressed like skanks to the gym. Parading their bodies around and attracting attention and then getting pissed off when a guy looks. Guys do it too..I see college kids all the time in skanktops and short shorts..trying to show off every single thing they have. Or they are wearing "wife beaters" aka Italian Tuxedo's to the gym. Its ridiculous.
Granted, the gym draws in so many creepy people as is, it's going to happen even if you are dressed respectfully. This is why they make mens/womens only gyms. But even then you risk getting stared at/stalked by someone of the same gender who is creepy. Certainly it is probably less risk.
I for one would prefer to work at a guys only gym, but even then 50% of guys in a gym annoy me as well.
I just wear this shirt when I go to gyms where people like to talk and approach you. I for one am gym anti-social.
or wear this one?
